A wise mentor once told that sometimes a great loss disguises as an opportunity.

一位睿智的導師曾經對我說，有時候你以為遇到了機會，實則卻是面臨著重大的損失。

It seems to be offering you something nice. But if you don’t give it a second thought and try to get more, it traps you in an invisible stagnation.

它似乎給你帶來了什么好東西，但如果你不先三思三思然后去爭取更多，它就會把你困在一種看不見的大停滯當中。

It’s just like when you get a job offer.

這就比如是當你獲得工作機會時。

In most cases it’s in your best interest to negotiate when you get a job offer.

在大多數情況下，當你獲得工作機會時進行談判符合你的最佳利益。

Many employers admit to lowballing initial offers because they anticipate that the candidate will try to negotiate.

許多雇主承認低報了初始報價，因為他們推斷候選人會嘗試議價。

Identify situations where you fixed something that was broken.

就像你修復了某件本已損壞的東西。

Ideally, that story should mirror potential situations you might face in your new role.

在理想的情況下，故事應該反映你在新崗位中可能面臨的狀況。

When you communicate to the company your value in terms and language that they understand, it becomes easier to justify why you should be offered a higher salary.

當你通過他們理解的方式和語言向公司傳達你的價值時，更容易證明為什么你應該獲得更高的薪水。

To be honest, I’ve been there. This is exactly the case.

老實講，我自己就經歷過這樣的事。

Life is the same.

人生本身也是一樣的。

You wanna live a better life? You wanna be a better self? Then try to ask for more.

你想過上更好的生活嗎?你想成為更好的自己嗎?那就試著去索取更多吧。
